Former Manchester United player and South Korean captain, Ji-Sung Park was the previous record holder as the Asian with the most number of PL goals. Park joined United in 2005 from PSV Eindhoven after spending two years at the Dutch club.

However, the South Korean sensation began his career in 2000 with Kyoto Purple Sanga and spent three years at the club before moving to Holland.

An attacking, versatile midfielder with great talent and bundles of energy, Park was a vital player in big games for United under Sir Alex Ferguson and produced solid displays on most occasions. With 19 goals in the PL, Park is second on the list for his goals thanks to his seven-year stint with the Red Devils.

QPR signed the South Korean in 2012 and he went on to play for a season for the club and spent a year on loan to PSV Eindhoven and then called it a day. Park was part of the South Korean national team that finished fourth in the 2002 FIFA World Cup in Japan & Korea. Park has also almost won every competition there is to win with United in European club football.
